| LOL, In spite of having posted all that above, I am lousy with a hand saw. However, after reading many of the links I'm pretty sure I've never used a true, sharp hand saw. ❝Do Not Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons, for You are Crunchy and Good with Ketchup❞ ComeVisit my Blog! |

| I could never get a true straight vertical cut on a thick piece of wood. I finally made a jig for 2 x 4's years ago. After a while my muscle memory took over and now it's no problem. A sharp saw thought is a must. You're just fighting the saw or binding it otherwise. Thanks for the links! “The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.” C.S. Lewis |
